Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Percentage of Participants With a Virologic Response at Week 48 - Treated Population
Time Frame: Week 48
Virologic response was defined as Hepatitis B virus (HBV) Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) less than 50 international units per milliliter (IU/mL); approximately 300 copies/mL. Percentage was calculated as number of participants with virologic response at Week 48 divided by the number of treated participants. Treated participants were evaluated using non-completer (NC) = failure (F). The HBV DNA by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was measured using the Roche COBAS(REGISTERED) TaqMan - High Pure System (HPS) assay, in a central laboratory. The results were reported in IU/mL, with the limit of quantification (LOQ) = 29 IU/mL and lower limit of detection (LLD) = 6 IU/mL. HBV DNA measurements were transformed by the log10 scale when analyzed as a continuous variable, using log10(LOQ-1) for values below LOQ.
Secondary Outcomes
- Percentage of Participants With Hepatitis B e Antigen (HBeAg) Loss at Weeks 24, 48, and 96 - Treated Population Who Were HBeAg Positive at Baseline(Baseline to Weeks 24, 48, and 96)
- Percentage of Participants With HBV DNA Less Than the Lower Limit of Detection (LLD) at Weeks 24, 48, and 96 - Treated Population(Weeks 24, 48, 96)
- Percentage of Participants With HBe Seroconversion at Weeks 24, 48, and 96 - Treated Population Who Were HBeAg-positive at Baseline(Baseline, Weeks 24, 48, and 96)
- Percentage of Participants With Hepatitis B Surface Antigen (HBsAg) Seroconversion at Weeks 24, 48, and 96 - Treated Population Who Were HBsAg-Positive at Baseline(Baseline, Weeks 24, 48, and 96)
- Number of Participants on Treatment With Study Drug With Laboratory Test Abnormalities Meeting Selected Criteria on Treatment - Treated Population(Day 1 to last dose of study drug plus 5 days; up to Week 96)
- Percentage of Participants With a Virologic Response at Week 24 and at Week 96 - Treated Population(Week 24, Week 96)
- Change From Baseline in Mean log10 HBV DNA at Weeks 12, 24, 48, and 96 - Treated Evaluable Population(Baseline to Weeks 12, 24, 48, 96)
- Percentage of Participants With Hepatitis B Surface Antigen (HBsAg) Loss at Weeks 24, 48, 96 - Treated Population Who Were HBsAg-Positive at Baseline(Baseline, Weeks 24, 48, 96)
- Number of Participants With Treatment Emergent Serious Adverse Events (SAEs) on Treatment, and Discontinuation of Study Drug Due to Adverse Events (AE) - Treated Population(Day 1 to last dose of study drug plus 5 days; up to Week 96)
- Number of Participants With Emergence of Genotypic Resistance to Study Drugs at Weeks 48 and 96- Treated Population(Baseline to Weeks 48, 96)
